Love Thyself to Love God - (3874)

The way to love our Being is through ourselves. To send our love to the Being we have to go higher up in ourselves and from there send our love. You can only embrace those higher parts of yourself and really go there when you love them. Like loving the virtues, the values,the soul, the consciousness etc.


How for God's sake can we be in our own abyss identified with some rubbish ego hating ourselves and the whole world, and trying to love our Being. Ah come'on, just nonsense - too stupid to even think about.


It just does not make sense to love the Being and not yourself. But of course loving yourself in the right way.


To love ourselves in the right way is to take care of what enters ourselves and to take care of what happens within us. To hate another is to poison ourselves first, to accept all sorts of negative impressions is to make us harm ourselves also, that is not love but we are so stupid, we allow all that in and hold grudges, resentments and negative concepts left right and centre. 



When we love ourselves in the right way we make a nice dwelling for our Being inside of ourselves and we call our Being closer.


We sometimes make the mistake thinking that we don't need the Being for our life and you know being honest, we don't really, we can do all the things of normal life without the Being, like shopping, driving, working, socializing etc. but for our inner life to be beautiful and harmonious and in order and balance, we need the Being. 


We need to bring the Being into our interior and make It the centre. The Being is our head, the central point of our circle and when the Head is not present everything goes awry. Just like the good old saying, "the mice will play when the cat's away" and when the teacher steps out of the classroom the students run amok. The Being is the 'cat' and the 'teacher'. So banishing the Being brings chaos and confusion sooner or later to our interior and then to our outer life.


I find that the best way to keep our Being in our centre, at the head inside of ourselves is by loving It and to love It we must love ourselves. Love ourselves but in the right way.

Attention with Mind, Attention with Essence - (5197)

These two attentions are different. Attention with the mind tires the brain. and reduces the flow of life into steps, where it is inevitable that the narration of the mind begins to take over. With the awareness of steps comes a certain tediousness and the feeling of the flow of life leaving us behind. With the attention of mind very little of what's behind events comes to us... Attention with the essence brings the power of presence, in other words brings a certain depth and continuity of flow  Attention with the essence doesn't tire or strain and opens doorways into perceiving what is behind events and the thoughts and feelings that appear within us. It allows us also to flow with the flow of life, which is a pleasant feeling. Conclusion, make the essence bring attention to outer and inner life. End (5197).

The Sacred Substance Askokin - (962)

Introduction In simple terms, the sacred Askokin substance is the result of the mercury and the sulphur. It is the transmuted energy that crystallises to form the internal bodies (astral, mental and causal). In other words, it is the transmutation of our sexual energies. The Abrustdonis’ and ‘Helkdonis that Gurdjieff mentions in the excerpt below, taken from “Belzeebub’s Tales to His Grandson” are none other than the elements of mercury and the sulphur so spoken about in Alchemy. Excerpt on the Sacred Substance Askokin “I first learned that the destiny of beings arising on this planet of yours is chiefly to elaborate—by means of the process of their existence—the vibrations required by Nature for the maintenance of those former parts of the planet now called Moon and Anulios, when, do you remember, I became worthy personally to converse for the second time with His Conformity the then still Angel, but now Archan...

Wisdom from the Movie “Kingdom of Heaven” - (2168)

Introduction There are some movies that leave you with some pieces of advice that at point or another in your life or in the lives of others prove useful. This movie: “Kingdom of Heaven” was terrible to watch (too many battle scenes and people dying) but offered some very useful messages. In this post, I have presented a few, that have come in handy at point or another. Just to give you a bit of context, the movie is about the crusades, where the French and English were trying to defend the “Holy City” – Jerusalem from Islamic occupation. The topic of religion and God is a constant theme in the movie. It is very violent though, matching it frankly, quite awful to watch. Your Soul is in Your Keeping Alone An interesting dialogue between the French appointed king of Jerusalem and French Knight, the protagonist of the movie. Note, the king wears that metal mask because he has leprosy. King Baldwin I...
